Her hazel eyes look at the spectator, and she has reddish brown hair, darker brown eyebrows, with lips slightly parted. She wears a white frock with a high waistband and, on the top of her head, a white scarf with touches of blue and red. A number of pentimenti, including two concentric sepia lines, fall behind the head on to her shoulder.
